This paper aims to describe the Italian PHEnology Network (IPHEN), a cooperative project started in 2006 with the aim of producing nationwide maps of analysis and forecast of plants phenological stages mainly used to satisfy the needs of agriculture, health and environmental care. Iphen is a data processing system composed of the following main segments (a) collection of atmospheric and phenological data, (b) processing of data with suitable phenological and geo-statistical models and (c) phenological maps of analysis and forecast. In more detail, IPHEN maps of analysis (featuring phenological stages reached at the date of processing) are produced with models based on a Normal Heat Hours approach which weighs hourly air temperature effectiveness for plant phenological progression applied to national grids of hourly temperature derived from the operational agro-meteorological network of CRA-CMA. A correction scheme based on phenological surveys provided by volunteer observers is applied to the first guess maps of analysis to obtain final maps. Forecast maps (prediction of the days of occurrence of relevant phenological stages) are produced on the basis of GFS model medium range forecasts and climatic data. Freeware IPHEN maps for grapevine, common and Arizona cypress, black elder, olive and locust trees are broadcasted weekly on the CRA-CMA website. The positive operational results of IPHEN are testified by 150 maps broadcasted during the 2011 season for the above-mentioned species. The system performances and reliability have been analysed focusing on the analysis of phenological simulation errors and on the sensitivity of phenological maps to anomalous atmospheric circulation patterns. The error analysis shows that phenological models are characterized by advances/delays that justify the adoption of an observation based correction scheme. The sensitivity analysis highlights that the system is responsive to the effects of circulation blocking systems leading to phenological advances and delays. 相似文献

Background and aims
Calonectria species have been reported as devastating pathogens mostly on horticultural and forest crops worldwide. Since these pathogens represent a serious threat for the nursery production, the aim of this study was to investigate on the short-term potential of soil solarization for eradicating Calonectria microsclerotia.Methods
Twenty Calonectria isolates collected in Italy from different hosts and locations were identified by using DNA sequencing of β-tubulin. The effect of thermal regimes and innovative solarizing films on the soil survival of Calonectria microsclerotia was evaluated through time at different sampling periods in growth chamber and greenhouse experiments.Results
Eleven and nine isolates were identified as Calonectria pauciramosa and Calonectria polizzii, respectively. No viable Calonectria inoculum was recovered after 12 days from all solarized plots inside ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) greenhouse and at 15-cm depth from solarized plots inside ethylene-vinyl-acetate (EVA) greenhouse. Under EVA cover, solarization killed C. pauciramosa microsclerotia within 9 and 17 d at 15- and 30-cm depths in soil, respectively, whereas no viable inoculum was retrieved within 6 and 12 days from solarized plots inside ETFE greenhouse.Conclusions
This paper demonstrates that short-term soil solarization is effective for Calonectria microsclerotia suppression in nurseries, and shows that ETFE film as well as other innovative materials could improve this technique. 相似文献4.
Aspergillus section Nigri is an important group of species for food and medical mycology, and biotechnology. The Aspergillus niger 'aggregate' represents its most complicated taxonomic subgroup containing eight morphologically indistinguishable taxa: A. niger, Aspergillus tubingensis, Aspergillus acidus, Aspergillus brasiliensis, Aspergillus costaricaensis, Aspergillus lacticoffeatus, Aspergillus piperis, and Aspergillus vadensis. Aspergillus awamori, first described by Nakazawa, has been compared taxonomically with other black aspergilli and recently it has been treated as a synonym of A. niger. Phylogenetic analyses of sequences generated from portions of three genes coding for the proteins β-tubulin (benA), calmodulin (CaM), and the translation elongation factor-1 alpha (TEF-1α) of a population of A. niger strains isolated from grapes in Europe revealed the presence of a cryptic phylogenetic species within this population, A. awamori. Morphological, physiological, ecological and chemical data overlap occurred between A. niger and the cryptic A. awamori, however the splitting of these two species was also supported by AFLP analysis of the full genome. Isolates in both phylospecies can produce the mycotoxins ochratoxin A and fumonisin B?, and they also share the production of pyranonigrin A, tensidol B, funalenone, malformins, and naphtho-γ-pyrones. In addition, sequence analysis of four putative A. awamori strains from Japan, used in the koji industrial fermentation, revealed that none of these strains belong to the A. awamori phylospecies. 相似文献

Phyto-oxylipins are a group of biologically active molecules that play an important role in plant defence. Their production begins with the oxygenation of polyunsaturated fatty acids by lipoxygenases (LOX) to form 9- or 13-hydroperoxides that are substrates for several enzymes involved in the synthesis of final oxylipins, which can act as signal molecules and/or direct antimicrobials. In the present work, the response of the 9-LOX pathway in the almond/Aspergillus carbonarius (producer of ochratoxin A) interaction was studied. Both LOX gene expression and activity are up-regulated over the course of fungal infection in immature and mature almonds. The biochemical characterization of major LOX and hydroperoxide lyase (HPL) isoforms indicated that 9-LOX metabolism is specifically induced by A. carbonarius. Lipid peroxidation profiling showed that, in infected immature almonds, enzymatically produced 9-hydro(peroxy) fatty acids (HFAs) were the main HFAs and are further metabolized by HPL into C9-aldehydes. Both HPL gene expression and C9-aldehydes increased over the course of fungal infection. In mature almonds infected with A. carbonarius, levels of LOX expression and activity were lower than those found in immature seeds, and 9-HFA represented the minority of total HFA, which consisted of mostly 13- and non-enzymatically produced HFA. In these experimental conditions, no volatile aldehydes were recorded from these samples, even though HPL was up-regulated in infected mature almonds. The effects on the growth of A. carbonarius of the aldehydes produced by these enzymes were also tested in vitro. Results reported here led to the proposal that, in almond seed, the association of 9-LOX and HPL has an important role in seed defence mechanism against pathogen infection. 相似文献

During the 2012 and 2013 growing seasons, a disease was detected on potted laurustinus (Viburnum tinus) plants in two nurseries located in the Catania province (eastern Sicily, Italy). ‘Cylindrocarpon’‐like species were consistently recovered from crown rot and stem rot tissues. Based on morphological characteristics, DNA sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of β‐tubulin (TUB), histone H3 (HIS3) and translation elongation factor‐1α (TEF‐1 α) gene sequences, the fungi associated with symptomatic tissues were identified as ‘Cylindrocarpon’ pauciseptatum, Ilyonectria novozelandica and I. torresensis. Koch's postulates were fulfilled by pathogenicity tests carried out on potted V. tinus cuttings. To our knowledge, this is the first report worldwide of ‘C.’ pauciseptatum, I. novozelandica and I. torresensis causing disease on V. tinus. 相似文献
